Nice Parents!!

[cush]

I was out with my daughter today, and we passed a new V6 Mustang, and it was being driven by some 16 year old (looked like 12), and his 3 buddies, this kid has really nice parents.... I'm assuming it's his car. I wish I had parents like that when I was teenager, I didn't get my first car until I was 18, and I bought it. Of course I could be wrong, but judging from the neighborhood I was in, I'm probably not. :headbonk:

I bought my older sister's 8 year old Datsun B-210 from her for $500 when I turned 16. Must be nice!

Nothing wrong with parents buying kids a car... What are they going to do with it all? Give it to their kids in 50 years when everybody is old and it means nothing? Better to give things to them when it means something. Baby boomers are sitting on massive amounts of wealth in housing stock, equity, and wealth that will start passing down to the next gen anyway in the next decade.

I agree, but it shouldn't get to the point where they look spoiled. There's a difference between buying stuff for your kids, rewarding them for certain things, and spoiling them.

Those are nice parents. I'm not getting my kids nice cars. They need to learn responsibility and value. My 14 y/o has been asking for a raptor when he is 16 and refers to it as pocket change. Lol, he is going to be pissed when I get him a $5k beater with a raptor badge. He will thank me one day when he is going to UF and living rent free in my condo.

No need to be jealous...

My dad wanted me to have a cool car to enjoy in high school back in the 70's, but he also wanted me to learn responsibility, so he loaned me the money to buy a 9-year-old 67 Camaro. It took a while, but I paid him back every penny. Cool car + life lesson = win/win! Thanks Dad!

Growing up I loved cars(Especially Vipers) and went to almost ever car show in my area with my dad. I worked all four years of highschool and had good grades so my parents helped me get my first mustang at 15 and a half and that is what I learned to drive in. It was a brand new 2001 v6 mustang coupe with a stick. Oh ya, it was ELECTRIC green(I was young) I payed for 17 inch chrome cobra r's with 10.5 wides in the back, black stripes, dual exhaust, cold air intake and steeda short shifter. I also payed for my own tires, insurance and gas. I had too many great times in that car and I have been a car enthusiast ever since.

My parents knew I was passionate about cars and they supported it because they knew cars made me happy, gave me a way to express my creativity and were always a big part of my life.

I was blessed to have such loving and understanding parents and to this day I never let them forget how thankful I am for their love, generosity, devotion and support. Because with out them I wouldn't be who I am or where I am today. When I eventually have children I intend to support there passions and help them to make there dreams a reality.

Im barely 18 and I've had a Subaru BRZ, 2015 WRX STI, and now a 15 GT. You can have anything you want as long as you work for it.

Only difference really is that Id give my kid a GT.

I really wanna know what you do for a living at 18 that allowed you to pay for a 25k car, a 35k car, and now a sub 40k mustang GT, because when i was 18 i had a cheap retail sales job that could barely allow me to pay for my college tuition, let alone a new car.


Seems like most 18 year olds these days are getting high paying jobs allowing them to pay for awesome cars. I guess i did it wrong when i was 18.

We bought my daughter a '11 Jetta. My first car was a '82 Mustang that was 7 years old. I'm fine with buying a kid a car as long they deserved and have worked hard. My daughter has worked hard in school and I have no issues with it.
